Fairy-tale therapy with Larysa Nitsoi: about the book
In “Little Rascals and Grumps”, the author has written a collection of stories with an educational message. Mruczek the cat knows all the children in the neighbourhood. Among them are little lazybones, little fibbers and backchatters, as well as forgetful and fussy ones. Each of the children will face a test, but there will also be a fairy-tale adventure that helps the little rascals mend their ways. “Little Rascals and Grumps” will be a useful tool and a helping hand for parents and educators in correcting children’s behaviour at home and beyond.

The writer has won national and international literary awards, including Ukraine’s highest state award for Ukrainian literature – the Lesya Ukrainka Prize of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
Larysa Nitsoi’s fairy tales have a therapeutic effect. In 2021, with the support of the United Nations, she used fairy-tale therapy methods to work with Ukrainian families of combatants in frontline regions. In 2022, together with the music group “One Family” and the Wrocław branch of the Association of Ukrainians in Poland (ZUwP), she carried out a week-long grant-funded project for 200 refugee adults and children in Wrocław. The fairy-tale therapy sessions were a great success, were highly rated by educators and received a great deal of positive feedback from participants.
